Survivor

The contestants of Palau started the game by rowing to the island and were surprised to encounter host Jeff Probst, who announced that the first of each gender to reach the Immunity Necklaces waiting on the beach would win the immunities. Jonathan and Stephenie LaGrossa made the fatal error of jumping off the boat early because they thought that that would help them get there quicker, but they ended up being the last ones to get to the beach and Ian Rosenberger ended up getting the Immunity Necklace for the males. When everyone arrived, there was no one on the beach and no instructions, so the initial group of 20 went ahead on building a shelter. The next day, Jeff Probst announced that the tribes would be chosen in a Schoolyard Pick, with the last castaway of each gender being eliminated immediately. For the males, the last two options were Jonathan, who did not get along with a few castaways, and Willard Smith, arguably the weakest of the male players. Willard was ultimately chosen to be on Koror by Caryn Groedel. Jonathan, along with Wanda Shirk, were the last two unpicked and therefore, eliminated.

Voting History

Because he was eliminated before the first Tribal Council, Jonathan did not have a voting history.
